Abstract

There is a debate about the role of seminal plasma for improved implantation rate and pregnancy rate during in vitro fertilization. Objective:-The aim of this study is to investigate whether the intrauterine application of SP at the time of the ovum pick-up has any influence on the pregnancy rates in IVF or not. Methods:- This prospective double-blind placebo-controlled randomized study Was conducted to compare two groups. The first group represents the cases whom seminal plasma insemination was done and the other group no plasma insemination but placebo. Clinical pregnancy rate and implantation rate were the outcomes. Results:- 400 patients were randomized after fulfilling the inclusion criteria.200 patients were included in the study group and 200 patients were included in the control group. Our results found no statistically significant difference in the two groups regarding implantation rate or pregnancy rate (57.3% versus 49.7%, p value=0 39) and (39.2% versus31.9%, p value=0.69). Conclusion:- Intrauterine insemination of seminal fluid at the time of ovum pickup is unlikely to increase the pregnancy rate.…
